A Biographical Index of British and Irish Botanists

Google

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

publisher to a library and finally to you.

PREFACE.

When five years had elapsed from the date to which we brought
down our origmal work, it appeared to us desirable to issue a supple-
ment to include the botanists who had died between January 1st,
1898, and December 81st, 1897, together with several who were
accidentally omitted from the original Index. It may be well to
state explicitly that only deceased botanists are included in the
list : this, by an oversight, has not been hitherto stated.

The present Supplement naturally follows the plan of the original
work : the serial sources of information previously consulted have
been examined down to the end of 1897, and few others require
special mention. Among the latter the most important are : —

Bretschneider. * History of European Botanical Researches in Ohina,'
by E. Bretschneider, M.D. 1898*

. Clarke. * First Records of British Flowering Plants,' by W. A.
i Clarke, F.L.S. 1897.

. Sargmt. 'The Silva of North America,' by 0. E. Sargent.
1891-98.

This Supplement was published in the Journal of Botany lor

I 1898 and 1899 ; but advantage has been taken of this reissue to

5 augment and correct it. We have incorporated the chief addenda

^ that were printed on p. xv of the original work, and a few names

concerning which inadequate information was forthcoming when

the work was first printed are entered in their proper order in this

Supplement, with full particulars. A few corrections of importance

are added, but obvious misprints and slight emendations of dates

are not included, nor have we attempted to give such items of

additional information as would appear in a new edition.

THE

JOURNAL OF BOTAN

BRITISH AND FOREIGN

KDITKIt BY

JAMES BRITTEN, K.S.G., F.L.S.

HBNIOB ABtflSTAZfT, DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY, BBITX8H MUBEUM

Thk Journal of Botany was established in 1868 by Dr. Seemaim.
In 1872 the editorship was assumed by Dr. Henry Trimen, whO|
assisted during part of the time by Mr. J. O. Baker and Mr. Bpenoar
Moore, carried it on until the end of 1879» when he left England for
Ceylon. Since then it has been in the hands of the present Editor.

Without professing to occupy the vast field of general Botany, the.
Journal has from its inception filled a position which, even now* b
covered by no other periodical. It affords a ready and prompt mediom
for the publication of new discoveries, and appears regularly and
punctually on the 1st of each month. While more especially oonoemed
with systematic botany, observations of every kind are welcomed.
Especial prominence has from the first been given to British botany,
and it may safely be said that nothing of primary importance bearing
upon this subject has remained unnoticed.

Bibliographical matters have also received and continue to reoeive '
considerable attention, and the history of many obscure publioations
has been elucidated. Every number contains reviews of new a&d
important books written by competent critics : in this as in every other
respect a strictly independent attitude has been maintained. While in
no way officially connected with the Department of Botany of the
British Museum, the Journal has from the first been controlled by
those whose acquaintance with the National Herbarium has enabled
them to utilize its pages for recording facts of interest and importance
regarding the priceless botanical collections which the Museum contains.
In 1896 it became necessary to increase the size of the Journal, owing
to the number of papers sent for publication : the number of plates
was at the same time augmented.

Subscriptions (16s. post free) and advertisements (not later titan
tlie 24th of each month) should be sent to West, Newman & Co.,
54, Hatton Garden, London ; communications for publication and
books for review to The Editob, 41, Boston Road, Brentford.

The volumes for 1884 to 1895, bound in cloth, can still be had,
price 14s. each, or £7 10s. the set. The volumes from 1896 to 1904,
bound in cloth, can be had at £1 Is. each.
